Players and leaders of several different clubs have been subjected to threats and hatred during the SHL season. The SHL reports every incident, but in "Hockey Night" it is agreed that there will be consequences if it continues.
"It's something that threatens sport. If you risk enduring things like this, it is not certain that we will have our good ice hockey players active. If you risk having physical threats and hatred directed at you, says Klara Stenberg at the players' union.
She is supported by hockey journalist Johanna Dahlén.
"It's clear that ice hockey is affected. Will players want players to play? It's not supporters who do things like this.
Expert Håkan Loob also points out that the threats can have very negative consequences for Swedish ice hockey.
"It's parents who read, see and hear what we in the media say, that this is happening. Then who wants to start playing hockey? Parents can say 'wait a minute now, there's such pressure so there's even threats and things being practiced, are we really going to let our kids into this sport'," he said.
Today, supporters can get close to the players in the SHL, but you can't take that for granted.
"Today, the players come with their cars and there are fans to whom they sign some autographs. It may be that you start to close in and not let supporters out. Then it's really, really a shame. But if it goes too far, the SHL and the individual teams have to do something," Loob said.
